Design Trends 2012- Black Chandeliers & Bright, Bold Colors

When your room is nearly complete, done with subtle touches of splendor, nothing says DONE like the crowning jewel of the perfect light fixture. Chandeliers have been gaining strong popularity over the last seven years or so in the world of design, but the last few years have really brought about show-stopping forms and colors- especially bold and beautiful black.

My trip to the World Market Show in Las Vegas did not disappoint, providing me elegant shapes, lots of hanging crystals and textural twists in glass that dazzle your eyes. Take a look at some of my favorite black chandeliers from the show and then a special treat from my friends at www.Black-Chandelier.com.
A black rectangular shade with see-thru pattern houses lovely shaped dangling clear glass.

Want drama? Got it with this massive black chandelier- 8' wide and 7' tall, adorned with clear crystals and a price tag of $40,000.

I love the twists and turns from this black shaded chandelier with ribbon striped clear glass. FUN!

This was one of my husband's favorites of the show. Black, floral stems and bright up-lighting.
Black chandeliers add a classy, elegant feel to ANY style of decor. It can be a statement piece in a simple, clean lined contemporary space, add drama to a traditional room or quirk to Mediterranean decor. A black chandelier can be demure and understated or powerful and fierce, gothic and mystical or just plain sexy! Everything looks better in black. 

Take a look at some of the most popular pieces from Black-Chandelier (www.Black-chandelier.com). Their display at the January 2012 JA Jewelry Trade Show at the Jacob Javits Center in NY showed off their best sellers in style. You have to love the impact of placing these black beauties in front of a red, showy background. AMAZING! 

The shades on these chandeliers are SOOOO darn sexy in any room!
I'd love to work with this fantastic company on your space, so if you are ready to move your home to the next level of luxe, call me and we can throw drama into your space with an amazing chandelier from this great company!
This Murano glass chandelier is one of my most favorite pieces by Black-Chandelier for $889.00
Scared to get into the trend? Start with this elegant 3 Light Black Chandelier for $289.00.

Besides "Anything but Basic" black, the World Market Show gave us fun shapes and colors that can punch up your room with bold beauty. Here are two of my faves...
This bold blue piece by Cyan Design boasts ribbon-like curls of glass and comes in other colors as well.

Loving this wacky fixture by Bel-Air, a well priced lighting company I carry.
Lighting has really stepped up a few notches to becoming a focal point and not just a way to illuminate your space. Black chandeliers are a safe, timeless addition to any room.
